You can also underclock the AMD64 Winchester processor, so it uses extremely low wattage, but still provides a 1.0Ghz+ performance.
I read on one forum someone had tested running the winchester (3200+ model) up to 1.2Ghz, with only a hint over 1.0v. Without a heatsink.
I'm currently running same cpu, but with CNQ (Cool'N Quiet active). At the moment it's automatically adjusted itself to 1.0Ghz with core at 1.08v. One could go to the BIOS and set those values there manually and run this machine without heatsink.
On a sidenote, I've looked at a number of "embedded"/small form factor boards for HTPC use and my only gripe with these new systems is that: they are _expensive_! I once even called a manufacturer to get a quote on some pentium-m almost-ITX sized board and it cost over 400eur.
I'd agree with you on this: I've seen both inhouse-developed and COTS solutions that went good and bad in a very large multinational company.
What I think is extremely important is that you have the right person deciding on what is the right way to go: For this specific purpose, can we do away with a COTS package or do we need to make this an inhouse solution? I think this is atleast where my companys organisation has failed miserably more than once.
The worst situation rises when you have NON IT personnel deciding on buying some COTS package, based on some external sales guys/consultants advice. On one occasion one of our Human Resources manager had been to a sales pitch and was ready to buy 300K EUR intranet solution from an external company. After reviewing the specs and offer, IT found out he was beign sold an open source solution that could be downloaded for free from sourceforge.net. Go figure..
When deciding on which way to go, you need to have right persons for the job and do a proper analysis of what is required now & in the future, evaluate that with the costs, benefits, savings, your own IT capabilities and go from there.

They've done some work with Gecko engine and will apparently include these changes in Firefox 1.1 - these changes will affect the rendering speed somewhat (alltough I think it's fast allready).
Sorry dude, there is no such thing as IE's html standard. So if your new question is "please implement IE rendering bugs in Mozilla/Firefox", I would guess the answer is simple and joyfull - no:D.
Thanks for the info. I understood that the article was about WEP password cracking, but it also has a little link to MAC control tables (filtering): MAC filtering is also used as one layer of protection, but it's obviously rendered useless by these crackers if one combines aircrack+mac-spoofing.
This means that even if you use WEP + MAC Filtering which is a common recommendation for securiting WIFI, you are not safe!
I'm not that familiar with wifi tech, but I've if I understand this correctly, would this mean that even if someone has protected their wireless network with MAC control tables, it could be now compromised?
Is it possible to sniff the MAC address from the traffic as well? This would mean that even if there's MAC control table in use, it could be by passed as the password can also be cracked.
Writing XHTML is really not that big of a change from writing good HTML 4.01. You basically have few "important rules" to remember:
1. Use All Lowercase Tags 2. Nest Elements Correctly 3. Always UseEnd Tags 4. End Empty Elements 5. Use Quotes for Values 6. Give Every Attribute a Value 7. Use Code for Special Characters 8. Use id Insead of name 9. Separate Styles and Scripts
I was also laughing when I read Robert Scobles blog, where he was drumming/hyping up this new "cool tool" from MS. Then I also tried it for 2 minutes and started laughing: Google Desktop doppelganger-hack that's uber-tied into your Windows/IE and that uninstalls Google Toolbar from IE. Nice.
At MSDN Channel9 and Scobles blog everyone is saying "wow" this thing is so cool, we made in couple of months, the team who did this started in April, we roxors! Only thing MSN Toolbar Suite proves is that MS is able to copycat someone elses idea in 6 months and call it their own (again).
Recent update at the Spreadfirefox.com site promised that the NYT add would be coming out mid-Dec. Whether this is going to happen or not is unclear. There has been quite a many people posting at Spreadfirefox and Mozillazineforums about the delays in the NYT campaign.
INTERNET (Reuters): Much hyped Single Sign On iniative was involved in a internet superhighway accident. The initiative got crushed into it's complex implentation, slow adoptation and couldn't not be revived. It was pronounced dead onsite by bypassing Slashdotters.
That only means that this guy then violated Dmoz publishing rules. Does this mean he should spend 10 months in prison for categorizing a hyperlink to a bad website??
I used Opera for a while a long time ago, but soon as I found out about Firebird (now Firefox), I switched. My biggest gripes with Opera at the time was that there was quite a lot of pages that refused to render correctly. That probably has been fixed by now. As far as page rendering speed goes: After doing couple of adjustements to my Firefox user.js file, this thing is flying. Oh, that email client in Opera sucked big time. I must be stupid because I never could figure it out.

I think this is one of the big problems with Linux: The avalanche of distro options.
Sure, you can tell me that it's great to have different flavours for different uses, but it would most definetly be even better if ALL the efforts beign put into the various different distros we're beign poured into one.

Sorry, I meant to say - without fan :D.. Glad you didn't fry your cpu.
Also Newcastle core is different than Winchester. Winchester's default core is 1.4v so it's able to run on lower voltages, while maintaining ok speed.

Why didn't you ask the previous owner to change the account details when you we're buying the game?
Change the previous owners account contacts details, email address and delete previous characters. Viola!

How does this get modded flamebait? I've included a link to the site that has the open-source implementation meantioned in this news article?
Incase somebody is wondering where the open-source implementation of Ping ID is hiding, it's here:
Sourceid.org

My toughts exactly. I can't believe we are letting a country with this bad human rights record enter EU. It's just unbelieveable.
Because Opera renders a LOT of pages badly. Few years back, it was REALLY bad. Today, it's just bad.
Thats why.
To my understanding, Mozilla is only counting the hits they get to their website/FTP. Torrent downloads are not included in the download figures.
Yep, no problems here either.

Instead of the "Take Back the Web" slogan, Mozilla should start making banners that say "Your Internet Needs an Upgrade".
